CSE 2022: Plan/ Strategy/ Daily Routine

This is an everything thread for all stuff 2022. You can post your daily goals, end-of-the-day updates, weekly targets or any weird thing you use to measure your progress. You can put into words & post the soul-sucking sadness that is threatening to devour you & your productivity. You can write what made your day & let others experience the happiness too, at least vicariously. This is a thread to pick each other up. This is a thread to keep each other accountable. This is a no-judgement zone.

--------

“This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.”

— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Guys, did you mark Biorock technology, Miyawaki method, Gucchi, Nitrogen Fixing Plants, Climate Action Tracker, EP100 questions? If yes, had you read them somewhere? These sort of questions are now regular, yet not found in Newspapers, conventional Current sources.

Miyawaki :- some ncert cant recall which but sure ncert

Biorock was in ca in last 3 years especially for cse2020

Guchhi :- no idea

Nitrogen fixation :- kabhi suna he Palak ko nitrogen fixation karte hue? Nahi na, there you go

Chimate tracker and ep100 never heard in life ever

Initial analysis ->I'm cracking this year's prelims too. If that happens, it will be a hatrick of Prelims for me- 2020, 2021, & now 2022. It was very hard for me to come out of the Personality Test atmosphere, and focus back on the exam after Final Result 2021. I have no choice but to make this attempt the best attempt.

kisi ka nahi suno [ UPSC bhi wahin bola kal ke CSAT paper me :p ] ! Tumhe lagta hai hoga continue the prep, tumhe lagta hai nahi hoga continue the prep! Just continue the prep :) [ I know this is easier said than done ] But waiting for the results and hoping that you'll be through till the results are out and continuing with your prep is gonna be of immense help IMO! [ Mere starting statement ke hisaab se aap ko mera yeh baat bhi nahi sunna chahiye :p ]

Don't listen to cutoff predictions. If you are getting 80+ marks, start with Mains prep after taking rest of few days.

Irrespective of the result of pre, you should study like you are going to give mains in September. So even if you miss the pre cutoff this time, it will help you in the next attempt.

My friend is visually impaired and xomes in pwbd 2 category.

He is getting 62-64 marks in gs and 92 in csat.

It was his first attempt. Should he start preparing for mains.

Kindly tell.

Last year his category cut off was 67

@DM @PICERAS @hope22 @Jiraiya @sator @masteroptimist Thanks a ton Guys. Considering that Environment, Science-Tech, Geography (Mapping) questions would have completely obliterated me in this year's Pre, how would you suggest approaching these subjects?

I could navigate Polity & Economy Questions, some of IR (with elimination mostly), and would've scored only around 50 if I gave this year's Pre.

That's a really broad question Man but good that you're trying to improve. Everyone has a different approach. I find myself comfortable with envi, s&t, geography. 

Usual sources you already would know. Can suggest a good value addition for geography. Never tried gc Leong but you can. Can also try out Amit sengupta videos on YouTube. End to end hai wo (except from temperature inversion concept from ncert).

For approach: relied heavily on pyqs. ( It won't help with CA bouncers but it helps with static).

I know lot of you might be worrying about fluctuating scores from varying answer keys.
so just to calm your nerves, reminding a small insight that you already know - 
NO AMOUNT OF WORRYING CAN CHANGE OUR PRELIMS MARKS, BUT........ OUR EFFORTS NOW CAN INCREASE MARKS IN MAINS.                                                                                                                                                               PS: Border marks se select hoke , to get a rank - usme maja hi alag hai mitron ! .. so keep grinding (mindfully)

@morsmodre For these 3 subjects, I feel wide reading is important. Researching on PYQ questions. You can make a note of very prominent current affair topics and do a bit more google search on them. I actually followed Indian Express Explained section- it helped in solving some random questions like that Turkey-Azerbaijan one. Tho again in the midst of such randomness, it's very hard to tell what works really. But for thumb rule- pick whatever you can manage revising multiple times otherwise it becomes very difficult to recall specific facts in that pressure situation.
